Hi Ken,
Broadcast callsigns beginning with K are mostly west of the Mississippi b ut there are ten -- and perhaps more -- exceptions. KDKA, KQV and KYW in Pennsylvania and KFIZ in Wisconsin were licensed before 1922. KFNS, KFTK, KGSM and KQQZ in Illinois and KWAM in Tennessee were originally licensed west of the Mississippi and moved a few miles east of the Mississippi but serve markets that are mostly west of the Mississippi. KJWP was originally licensed in Wyoming and moved to Delaware. KTGG in Michigan was probably issued by mistake in 1985... At least 20 stations with callsigns beginning with W are located west of the Mississippi, but that's another story altogether... 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken G Kopp" <kengk...@gmail.com> To: "Elecraft" <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Friday, July 13, 2018 9:58:26 PM Subject: [Elecraft] OT: Call location Trivia:. Usta be that all "K" calls on the BC band were east of the Mississippi River. WFAA and WBAP in Ft Worth share a common studio and transmitter and split hours of call use. 73!
